I think as far as food, I am doing ok. I have a yogurt in the morning, then some soup or something soft for lunch, and then dinner. I am doing better on my water but I am only getting 24-32 ozs of water. That is the hard part for me but I am working on it. I am still having a hard time, eating food. What ever food I am eating, I try to make sure it has some kind of protein in it but I am still not eating that much. I have lost 31lbs since surgery, and a total of 42lbs since the pre-op diet! I feel so good, and not hurting as much any more.
I'm also consuming anywhere from 600-800 calories a day. Like you, I HATE walking. Tomorrow will be 6 weeks post op so I've been doing low impact fitness class for the past week and a half. Starting tomorrow I can slowly start intenstfying and adding strength training. Is there a gym near you? Things that I know are fun are any kind of activity in the water, a dance class like zumba, etc., I find that with fitness class I burn my calories and develop relationships with the other people in the classes. The hospital that I had my procedure at offers group fitness classes for post weightloss patients. I passed it up because my gym is less than a mile away from my house. Whatever you find you decide to do, keep it up. The important thing is to keep moving whatever it is that you find you enjoy.
anyways best of luck to you guys! I hope you are losing the pounds like I am! :P
I'm here Krizzti - it is quiet here. We need to be more active you Januaryiers! Let us know what everyone is up to. We are now way into our second month - how is it going? I've only lost 24lbs. - I guess that's ok, but the last couple weeks have been slooooow. My calorie intake has gone from around 200 to around 600-800 and my exercise level has gone down from 5 days to about 3 a wk. Ok, Ok, I know what I'm doing wrong - get my butt out and exercise. I'm eating all the right foods though - does that count?! :) Is everyone else starting to eat a little more calories? Had a Nut session this morning, and she said I should be working toward 1200 eventually and try to not ever go below 1000 - AND exercise. What do y'all do for exercise? Walking is sooo boring to me - I like my son's elliptical but I only get over to his house about 3 times a week. Has anyone gotten any exercise videos - I looked at them but didn't know which one I could tolerate. Any ideas?

That is until I have finished my small plate of food and then I get this "hot and bothered feeling", I guess that is my limit reached warning!
